Hey guys sorry for the big word in the title :mrgreen:
my normal stock into Hcl then to CuCL
Foils and mask into bleach/Hcl. Filtered with fiberglass charmin plug , tested with stanouss
AuCl at this point was beautiful golden yellow.
sit in Sun for 4 hours then steamed for 2 hours under vacuum .
Added 3 grams of smb which dropped tan powders
Seasoned new melting dish with new borax ,added powders .heated with oxy/acetylene
Ususlly powders would form what look like islands floating around but this time around the point of looking wet but still no islands all the. Color dissapeared in an instance and all what seemed left was borax
At this point i turned up the heat and the melting dish turned purple or dark brown/black (pic)
I thought impurities. And saw 1 little bb form and a couple of dots that i couldnt move i added prills of borax which made things appear easier but wasnt
Not sure but this could maybe have some meri . At the end of the melt i noticed silver or solder color flakes that would break away and float on the barax but would not adhere to the gold
Any input would be greatly appreciated
Thanks steyr223
